About the Retro 51 Tornado Popper
The Retro 51 Tornado Popper pens are limited edition pens, each with a unique theme and design. These Tornado pens reflect the latest trends, retro fun, or a new production technique.
Each Retro 51 Popper comes with a matching gift packaging tube and a refill. Like all Retro 51 Tornado pens, the Popper pens can take either a Parker-style ballpoint refill or a short capless rollerball refill.
First Ride
Inspired by the first Mustangs to hit the roads in '64, the pen's acid-etched elements are enhanced with additional printed details and finished off with a Poppy Red paint job and chrome trim. Pens are limited to 1289 pieces (like the 289 cubic inch engine offered in the Mustangs), and topped with a hubcap on the finial. They are packaged in a gift tube with a label featuring our CEO, Jeff's, late brother, Brian, photographed next to his "First Ride" - a '66 Mustang packed with a 289. The Retro 51 First Ride Tornado Popper is built to write. So, buckle up!
Beachy Side Up
The Beachy Side Up's fun design gives you a bird's eye view of the coastline, where sandy shores stretch for miles and beachgoers lounge under umbrellas, enjoying their sunbathing and summer vibes. Amidst the serene sands and leisurely vibes, a playful twist awaits. Keep an eye out for the baby shark cutting through the waters, adding an unexpected dash of excitement to your writing adventures. This limited edition pen of 775 rollerballs whisks you away to sandy shores and salty breezes.
Mercury 7
The Mercury 7 Tornado is a Retro51 x Astronaut Scholarship Foundation Commerorative Rollerball collaboration in celebration of ASF's 40th Anniversary. This limited-edition Tornado™ features acid-etching and printing on the barrel depicting details from the futuristic space suits that captured the public's attention - complete with white accents mimicking the astronaut's helmet and boots. Pens are engraved with a LE number of the 1958 rollerballs produced and topped with ASF's logo on the finial. The illustration of the Mercury 7 on the packaging tube is reminiscent of the iconic photo of the astronauts in their suits and is printed against a metallic silver to complete the beauty of this special writing instrument. Continue to reach for the stars with the Mercury 7 Astronaut pen and honor the brave men and women who made such achievements possible.

This is a really fun, quirky pen that also writes well right out of the box. But, if you're like me and prefer a ballpoint to a rollerball, you can quickly and easily replaced the enclosed rollerball refill with your favorite Parker-style ballpoint refill.

I think Retro did a great job in the design of the Enterprise. I purchased 2 of these pens; one I kept for myself and the second one I gave as a gift to my sister. Whatever the type of coating Retro has put on the pen, it feels like it should last a long time. If you haven't picked up the Enterprise, then you should consider doing so. It would be a great addition to anyone's pen collection and a pen that you would enjoy to write with everyday.
Also, Pen Chalet's customer service is the best!

I bought this for my husband. He likes it. It's package well, and it writes well, though since it's a metal pen it's a little heavy for some of us.
